BOTTLE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 8, 1920.

Application filed September 24, 1919. Serial Not 326,019.

To all witam it may (Joncern:

Be it known that I, MioHAnL J. HYLAND, a citizen of the United States and resident of ltochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Bottle- .l lolders, of which the following is a speoilieation. 4

The present invention relates to bottlel holders and an object thereof is to provide' a construction which is adapted to hold hottles of difi'erent sizes, the illustrated constructirm being1 designed for holding bottles eontaining an e1nl ahui11gI fluid in order that the fluid may bo drawn from the bottles through a tube and directed into the body.

To this and other` ends, the invention consists of certain parts and eoinhinations of parts, all of which will be hereinafter described, the novel. features boine` pointed out in the appended claims.

ln the drawing's:

Figures l. and 2 illustrate two side views of thel holder with a bottle of one size held therein;

Fig'. is a side view of the holder itted to a bottle of another size;

Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4 +l, Fig. 3; and

Pig. 5 is a fragmentary view showing the connection between the main supporting' band and one of the lateral supports.

Referring more particularly to the drawino's l indicates the main supporting' band which is in'eferably in the form of a wide Strap of leather. To the opposite ends of this band, sustainingr means is secul'ed preferably in the form of straps 2 and 3, one of 'which carries a buckle 4 adapted to be en` ,o'aged by the other Strap to provide an adjustable sustaining means which is adapted to be passed around any suitable support such for instance as a nail 5. The supporting Strap is adapted to support a bottle of any particular shape. In Fig's. Vl and 2 the bottle 6 is long and narrow Whereas, in Figs. 3 and 4 .the bottle 7 is short and wide. In order to provide for the lateral support of the hottle, a hand 8 is provided for coperation with the bottle near its lower end. This hand 8 is preferably secured to the supporting Strap or band 1 by providing the band with two parallel slits 9 and passing the tween the supporting band l to wrap about the nei'l: of the bottle in the lnanner shown.

lt apparent that the hand l will adapt itself to bottles of an)r width and the two lateral supporting means are also adj ustable to aceommodale bottles of different widths. The sustaining means is adjustabe so that it may be ittcd about any suitable support such as a nail, olothes hook, or any portion of furniture such as a bed frame, or chandel ier. The holder i'rlnl)i sustains the bottle and at the same time perlnits the ready re moral thereof.

What l claiin as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. A bottle holder comprising a supportino' band, sustainingl means connected to op posite ends of the band, an adjustable band at one side of the hottle and free from the band at the opposite side of the bottle for lateral support secured to the band, and a second adjustable lateral supporting means for engaging thel neck of the bottle, said second lateral supportingI means embodying two fiexible strands connected to the supportinpl band near both of its ends and adapted to be twisted between. the ends to pass about the neck of the bottle.

2. A hottle holder oomprising a wide supporting band` sustaining means formed of two straps adjustly connected together, a lateral supporting means for the lower end of the bottle formed of an adjustable strap passed through two slits in the supporting hand, and a second lateral supporting means for eno'aging' the neck of the bottle embodying' a eord passed through two openings in each end of the supporting Strap to provide two strands adapted to he wrapped about the neok of the bottle.
